Barrett’s SSRS — SHOT Show 2025"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Barrett has done it again, folks. On display at SHOT Show 2025, the 30mm Support Rifle System (SSRS) is the stuff of tactical dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built for modern combat, this beast of a rifle tackles drones, defilade positions, and dismounted threats with ease. Unfortunately, it\u2019s not available to the public\u2014but admit it, we all wish it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barrett + MARS: A Sci-Fi Dream Team<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The SSRS is the lovechild of Barrett Firearms and MARS Inc., a tech start-up that\u2019s making waves in the U.S. Army\u2019s xTechSoldier Lethality competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, they\u2019ve created a rifle that\u2019s as cutting-edge as it gets, designed specifically for the Army\u2019s Precision Grenadier System (PGS) program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s talk firepower. The SSRS is chambered in 30mm, which means this rifle is throwing rounds the size of Red Bulls downrange. Despite its monstrous caliber, it\u2019s compact\u2014just 33.9 inches long with a 12-inch barrel\u2014and weighs 13.9 pounds, making it surprisingly maneuverable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deep rifling cuts in the barrel ensure those hefty 30mm rounds stay on target. Whether you\u2019re neutralizing threats behind cover, knocking drones out of the sky, or addressing dismounted enemy forces, this rifle does it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
